Revert to old update/drop numbering system

This new versioning system will break consistency with every previous update Minecraft has ever had. There's a many more sophisticated ways to handle this, I'll list 2 ways the consistency could be kept. - Major/minor drops: The current versioning system use for drops (E.G. 1.21.8->1.21.9) creates large numbers for the minor place of the version number. I propose increasing the major version number for larger drops, like the Mounts of Mayhem drop. (E.G. 1.21.10->1.22) -All drops equal: All drops can be treated as major updates, and can be versioned as so. The only reason the minor update decimal place was used in the past was to signify bugfixes, and that's how it should still be used.

    I've been thinking that for a while now, we've gotten 10 drops so far, soon to be 11... they can turn the update number over to 1.22 after the mounts of mayhem drop. 11 small updates over the course of a year or two is enough to be considered a full update in my book, and while it's not as grand or robust as a legit full update, it still allows for one of minecrafts most iconic parts of itself to stay consistent.

    (plus some of these drops have been bigger than some full game updates so...)

    I feel like adding 1. at the beggining would be great still, as the 1. is iconic to minecraft version numbering syste,

    I think they should just increase the version number every year so the number doesn't get too big and maybe add an extra number or letter for bugfixes

    Something like:

    1.22.10 or 1.22.1a

    1.22.11 or 1.22.1b (for bugfixes)

    1.22.20 or 1.22.2a (for a new drop)

    1.23.10 or 1.23.1a (for a new year or big update)

    Here's the things. They do that to hide the stagnation in the updating cycle 

    As the new version format don't have a number designated for major update as there won't be any.

     

    Here's how things work : 

    + Calver (New) :

    Years.Gamedrops.Patches

    + Semver (Before) 

    : Super Major Update.Major Update. Patches and Game Drops + Smaller Patches (bedrock edition only)

    Effectively turn any future updates into Patches or game drops for 1.21 until the end of Microsoft itself.

    Microsoft can hide from others. They could even hide it from themselves, but there's only one truth and that's the Truth.

     

    The Truth is they failed and this Reformat is their final admission of failure before their Great downfall.

    Minecraft is Dying
    Dying Slowly.

    Not Glamorously
    Not Heroically
    Not Peacefully

    Microsoft and Their Collaborators will pay the prices for their mistakes.

    The Last Update where Minecraft Stagnation is at its most visible.

    The Coming update will be where Microsoft attempt to hide it with CalVer. To make stagnation look like progress and regression look like good fun.

    + Calver (New) :
    Years.Gamedrops.Patches

    + Semver (Before)
    : Super Major Update.Major Update. Patches and Game Drops + Smaller Patches (bedrock edition only)
